I know what it's like
To love unconditionally
Without that love being
Reciprocated back to me
I know what it's like
To take care of the one you love
But to ask for help
Insults flew like a dove
I know what it's like
To love someone from a distance
Because they constantly push you
Out of their existence
I know what is like
To be loyal entirety
To someone that lies, cheats,
And blames you for the disloyalty
I know what it's like
To be married for over a decade
While being unloved
And treated like a handmaid
I do not know what it's like
To fall asleep in a cuddle
Because they kick you away
Calling it Claustophobic snuggle
I know what it's like
Falling asleep all alone
On the edge of the bed
Afraid to reach into their zone
I know what it's like
To be persuaded
That your a monster
And become self hated
I know what it's like
To complete crumble inside
As the person you once was
Has disappeared and died
I know what it's like
To wither within
Because the person you love
Treats you like a sin
I know what it's like
To love passionately
But don't know how it feels
To be loved adamantly
